The GDPR doesn’t apply to European IPs, it applies to Europeans. It would be like a French guy showing up at the grocery store you run and now you have to obey EU regulations or be subject to massive fines. Also, half of the grocery stores in the US now flat out refuse to do business with the French, or any American expatriates. The other half make people with French accents fill out a disclaimer form before they can enter which is also somehow against EU regulations in some cases... but it’s mostly OK for now, because the law weirdly seems to only be enforced against large US multinational food chain suppliers who were able to out compete local French companies. To top it everyone thinks this was such a success that they are racing to pile on with California leading the charge.
